This decadent #FarmerFavourite comes from Juschka, an organic egg farmer in Yarrow. Her Caramel Apple German Pancake serves four (or one!) and pairs wonderfully with our home-made eggnog.

Ingredients

1 cup peeled apple slices
¼ cup granulated sugar, divided
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp allspice
¼ cup butter
¼ cup brown sugar
¾ cup flour
½ tsp salt
1 cup milk
½ tsp vanilla
5 large eggs
Icing sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375.
Toss together apple slices, 2 tbsp sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice in a small bowl until apple slices are well coated. Set aside.
In a large, deep cast iron skillet (10 inch works well), add the butter and put the skillet in the oven until the butter has melted.
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the pan, then layer the apple slices evenly over the pan. Return the pan to the oven.
While the apples are starting to bake, whisk together the four, remaining sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
Whisk in the milk until batter is smooth. Then, add eggs one at a time whisking until each is incorporated. Add the vanilla and whisk.
Remove the skillet from the oven, and pour the batter over the apples. Return to the oven as quickly as possible, and bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the centre is set and the sides are golden.
Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
